After a first set mastered, the Ukrainian had to be used in the second round since the young American served for the win of the round but finally broke down by losing three games in a row. In the second round, it will take a big game from Svitolina to go out Venus Williams.

Kristina Mladenovic, 54th world, achieves the feat face Angélique Kerber, seeded No. 14. If the German is stopped for a few weeks, the Frenchie was not particularly at the party either. She had never beaten Kerber on hard and so it's done. A beautiful victory in three sets 7-5, 0-6, 6-4 which should do a lot of good to the French. Even if she had an air hole in the second run that she let slip 6-0, after a first set ripped off the end of his fourth set ball. As in 2017, the winner of the tournament in 2016 comes home in the first round. There will be a Frenchwoman in the third round, because Mladenovic face Fiona Ferro., qualified a little earlier.
